Hot Fix Rhinestones, Crystals, Rhinestuds, Nailheads and Mixed Rhinestuds Shapes are the easiest way to add bling to your clothes, Cell phone, Sun glasses, Ipod and so much more.

Now you can do it yourself  with our easy to follow INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLYING LOOSE HotFix Rhinestones, Crystals, Rhinestuds, Nailheads and Mixed Rhinestuds Shapes.

You want to add a little bedazzle touches or go all out with total BLING, its fun and easy to enhance your Computer, Laptop, Baby and Children items, shoes, cowboy baseball hats, Cat and Dog Collars, cd players or even your cars, trucks can be decorated using Rhinestones Crystals.


I recommend starting any design letters or words in the middle and working outward. You want to be be centered when you are finished.
I like to work during the day light or have a very strong lamp and I always use my large kitchen cutting board. As I go along I re-check my spacing so I don't have to re- due a lot of rhinestones when I am done.

There are a few ways of applying hotfix Rhinestones. You can use a Hot Fix tool Like Kandi Kane, or Bedazzler or other Hot Fix type tools or use of a household iron or heat press or Glue.

These directions are for use without using mylar/motif paper.

One big mistake people make is using the wrong type of Rhinestones, so please remember to use only HOT FIX RHINESTONES. You can test it first by using a scrape of fabric place a few rhinestones on it and iron them on if they stick you have the right kind if they melt you bought the wrong kind.

Kandi Kane Bedazzler


You will want to check the tip you are using to make sure it matches the size of Rhinestones you will be using. Do this before you plug in the hot fix tool or you will have to wait for it to cool down before changing the tip.
Now you can plug in the hotfix tool  and let it heat up.

I use a large cutting board or any flat surface will be fine to place your material or item on.
Its best to put your rhinestones on a piece of paper or I like the rubber non skid fabric but you can also use a container lid they work great too. It will be easy if you arrange all your rhinestones so they are facing upwards..
Now with your hot fix tool hot and ready to use put your rhinestone on the tip.
Put the rhinestone on the fabric where you want to adhere and press it into place for just a few seconds allowing the glue to melt. Its fun and easy and soon you will be decorating everything.

Iron-on Method

I like using my cutting board because its hard and can withstand heat to put my material or item on.
I pre heat my iron to what ever the fabric call for so read the label first you don't want your iron to get to hot.
I run my iron over the material first just to warm it up a little than place my rhinestones in the design I want. You can use either our Rhinestone Picker upper or even Tweezers to place the Rhinestones.I place a lightweight towel over my rhinestones or even a old t-shirt works great and using the iron press and hold until the glue melts. You can check the rhinestones by trying to lift them with you fingernail if they began to come up you will need to iron them again.
 Let them cool and you are all done !!!!!. 

Glue Method


We recommend using Rhinestone Glue. Place just a tiny amount of glue on the item like your cell phone or sunglass. Don't use too much glue or it will come out around the rhinestone. Let the glue dry just a little and place your rhinestone on the glue. I always take my time allowing the first rhinestone to dry a while before I place the second one in place so don't be in a hurry. The rhinestone glue dry clears but you still don't want to see a clear glue around the area of the rhinestone.
Use either our Rhinestone Picker upper or even Tweezers to place the Rhinestones.
It takes about  24 hours for the Rhinestones Glue to dry. 
You’re done!
